Okay, no, sorry, I don't come with a page. Since the last update I started a new job that has me currently working 6 days a week. The job is really easy, so it's really not a problem except that it makes it very hard working on the comic on a page-to-page basis.
I work best in the mornings/early afternoons/afternoons.
This is true in all forms. Work, comic work, cleaning, etc etc. While I was at my old job, I would have 3 days a week I could work on the comic drawing-wise and then during my "downtime" (evening, etc) I would work on them on the computer.
But that doesn't really work when I have only one day off and usually use it to catch up on the housework @.@;;;;;
So, this isn't working..
I have to think of a new strategy if I want this comic to continue (and I do, really, I do).
So, as a demo, I'm going to try uploading the comic by chapters for a bit. This will allow me to get the page-work done in greater chunks and then will work on coloring/texting them during the rest of the week.
My question to you, is do you want it by WHOLE chapters or HALF chapters, right now? I know a lot of you are fed up with the lack of updates (hopefully the abundance of pages will ease said-pain), so I want you to decide what you'd like more. (Either message me through my page here, or post in the forums).
New challenges means I have to find a new balance :/ Let's see what we can do
January 30, 2008
So, it's been, what? Nearly 3 months since my last real update?
Yeah...working on trying not to suck T_T
The good news is I got a new job. I've been meaning to do this since about....May. My old one stressed me out so badly that I'd come home and wouldn't want to do anything that required too much concentration (so I'd either clean, watch TV, listen to music, that sort of thing)
:) So less stress means I'll be able to actually work on stuff when I'm at home.
Sorry it's just the two for now, I did have more but I believe I may have a virus (I'll go to pull up my comic pages on Photoshop and some are coming up either "empty" (how does that HAPPEN?) or they'll be corrupted. Thankfully I found a way around the corrupted problem, it's just annoying and kinda compromises some of the image linework, but it's better than loosing a some 6 hours of coloring.
The only thing I can do when they're "empty" though, is redo the whole thing (starting from scanning, of course).
I'm no GeekSquad, so I have no idea what exactly the problem is (And I don't have the money to get it checked out right now...).
Once things start getting back on track, I have a couple surprises for you. But it seems like every time I say something like "the next update will be such-and-such" ....it doesn't happen.
So, I'm keeping my mouth shut this time :P
But I will tell you that I'm going to be using most of my free time to be working on the comic and just make update after update.
Once my job is settled in I'll go back to "scheduled" updates (keep an eye on the forum for that!), but just check back every couple days for updates until then.
See you next time!*
*"Next time" is labeled as undisclosed time to protect the writer and readers from all around disappointment. :P
